DurationThe Mindfulness Based Living course aims to enable participants to establish an effective and regular daily mindfulness practice, to help to understand their pattern of thinking and help to settle their minds. There is a SQA Adult Achievement Award qualification that you can work towards, with your Caseworker, at the end of the course.
You will receive a manual at the start of the course where you can record your experiences throughout the course. In addition, you will receive by email weekly practice for you to listen to daily.
Mindfulness meditation practice is one way to truly experience the current moment and integrate that awareness into your everyday life. These sessions are friendly and informal, with all abilities welcome.
Who
Open to all current Access to Industry students. If you are interested, contact your Caseworker for more information.
When
The course usually runs one day a week over an eight week period. Future dates TBC.
Why
Mindfulness can be a really helpful tool to learn for managing feelings of stress or anxiety. If questions come up during the course about your mindfulness practice, your teacher will be available to talk to you about your experiences.
However, this course is not a form of therapy. If more support is needed, we recommend participants seek the support of mental health professionals.
About Us
What We Do
Access to Industry works with individuals to support them into education and employment. Our work delivers real transformative change, assisting individuals to overcome personal difficulties that impede their progress.
We do this through programmes and courses that provide one-to-one support, group work, tutored classes and work experience. Our aim is to facilitate access to further and higher education, training and employment. We are an approved SQA (Scottish Qualification Authority) centre.
Our programmes and courses develop essential core skills such as communication, ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and problem solving. We take a holistic approach and offer individual support that aims to alleviate wider personal barriers.
History
Access to Industry was established as a charity in 2000. Initially the creative industry sector provided the focus for our programmes but through time we expanded the remit of our work as well as our geographical reach.
Our history and development inform the content of the programmes we offer today. We are pleased to offer a broad range of opportunities to anyone eligible, regardless of background or age.
We have increased our professional skills and knowledge by supporting unemployed people with particular needs, whether they are in recovery from substance use, have an offending history, experience of homelessness, or require support for their mental health.
More About Us
Originally operating from the Wester Hailes area of Edinburgh we expanded across the East of Scotland as we developed further education ‘Access Courses’. These were designed to encourage people unlikely to access mainstream college courses – without a bit of additional support – to apply for and then retain a college place.
In 2003 we began to develop a specialism in supporting the specific needs of people in recovery from substance misuse. Part of this specialism was delivered in one-to-one support but also in ensuring our programme of activity enabled routine building and the opportunity to grow both in confidence and academic qualifications.
Our in-house ‘community’ college was born at this point and our partnership to deliver this with (now) Edinburgh College. Our name changed to Access to Industry.
In 2006 we began development of another specialism, supporting people with an offending history. We offered an innovating employability ‘through-care’ support system initially to young men from HM YOI Polmont being liberated to areas in the central belt of Scotland, and subsequently to adults being liberated from HMP Edinburgh and to women offenders.
As an organisation we continue to develop opportunities for people who are unemployed and who face barriers to employment.
Other Services
Disclosure Training
Knowing how a history of offending can impact on someone’s employment choices and prospects can be tricky without knowledge of disclosure. We provide training that gives information and practical advice to agencies supporting clients with convictions.
The course is entirely secular based upon the research and findings of Jon Kabat-Zinn. This is a face to face class in Maryhill, Glasgow.
